The girls are here working on their hand embroidery. Victoria is on block #11 of the Piccadilly Baskets and Marilyn is working on block #2 of the 9 Patch Garden.

It is very nice to have ladies working on different patterns at the same time. It really shows the different things that are going on.

They come in once a month, on the second Tuesday each month for a sit and stitch. Where did everyone else go today?

A real surprise came when Sheri arrived in a very large motorhome with car came to visit our store this afternoon. While his wife was in the store her husband was in the back trying to turn around so he could drive out. It took a little time to maneuver but all ended well

Did you know that potholders (the things that are usually crammed in a drawer) have an interesting history? Chris writes a little about this and provides words of wisdom for choosing the right one for those special friends who will love and use them all year! And the best part…..The book only costs $9.95!!! Come get yours before they are gone!

In case you missed the pattern for potholders or you find that you just LOVE the pot pinchers, this is the pattern for you! From Vanilla House, Pot Pinchers offers full size patterns and lots of ideas for embellishing them. Include a pair of these pot pinchers with a recipe or a loaf of bread and your holiday gifts are ready! It takes less than a yard (or you can use two or three fat quarters) of fabric to make two oven mitts!! How about Cupcakes, Owls and Monkeys for cute potholders
